In the manual, it says "Permission is required to enter York Yard North from Y243/245/247 and Y262/312/666." Now the part I don't understand is if a train is being signalled into that location from Signal Y243, I than get a error message saying train did not have permission /(York Yard North Y248) which is the exit signal for York North Sidings onto the slow lines in the direction of Leeds/Doncaster. How come there also isn't a option to select Y243 in the drop down menu when offering trains to York North Sidings either? There is a option for Y248 but shouldn't that actually be Y243 instead because surely the person in charge at that location will ring up to present a departure indeed the manual does say "The yard will phone you to inform of a departing train." Just confused why I need to ring them using the exit signal as the entry signal ![]() Log in to reply |

The signals are a guide to indicate which end of the yard you are phoning. If it was York Yard North South End and York Yard North North End it would be confusing for most people.

If the person in charge however is presenting the train from that location than the phone call should just happen automatically. There's no need for Y243 to be listed as York Yard North South End at all, in theory it ought to work like it does for Nene Sidings in Peterborough. Log in to reply |

However once a PIC has taken charge of the yards complex, then all movements must be authorised by the PIC. For a train going from Y243 on the down slow into Klondike/Thrall behind Y635 then the signaller would ask the PIC for authority to allow a train in behind Y248 and go down to Klondike/Thrall. I recall being asked when this sim was developed how the yards worked, and to make it easier the developer decided to make all yard moves done by telephone, as in real life there is not a Yard PIC on duty all the time, only when TOC/FOC requires to get a train in/out the yardeps125 in post 156132 said:It wouldn't just be Y243 though would it, it would need to be Y243/245/247 and a separate option for Y262/312/666.
